Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 556 Say It Like You Believe It

Even if the Luminaris Clan had an Intermediate clan specialty that they could use to heal themselves, with the Clan Head’s current situation, he could not fully activate it without expending some of his magical energy, which he was using to keep his health stable.

Nonetheless, now that Orion and the warriors beside him had blocked and trapped them within the Gemheart Clan’s manor, they could only wait and see what he was planning to do.

The only thing they feared was going through the same experience that King Garnet was enduring.

Orion withdrew his gaze and dragged King Garnet back to his previous position by the neck. Once he arrived, he threw him by the side, allowing him to catch his breath before focusing on the rest of the crowds, frozen in their spots.

“I will ask this one last time, so answer me: Is there anyone willing to make the necessary sacrifice to stop me from interfering in the Prismerian Kingdom’s affairs?” Orion’s voice penetrated through the dense stench of blood and charred flesh in the air, reverberating deeply within their ears. 𝙡𝒊𝓫𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝙢

This time, no one responded.

They all faced downwards, gripping their fists tightly in anger and frustration. So what if they decided to turn the citizens of the Prismerian Kingdom against them? Wouldn’t that seal the doom of their fate?

After all, with the strength and viciousness they had just witnessed, every attack aimed at dealing devastating injuries, who is to say they wouldn’t eliminate the entire Prismerian Kingdom if they attempted to resist with their numbers?

After all, they were outsiders and foreigners, from beyond the mountain, wielding strength far surpassing even their most powerful warriors. And, Orion’s confirmation of more of their kind outside the mountain, accompanied by the two formidable warriors with him, shattered any idea that they should fear the Prismerion race, let alone the Prismerian Kingdom.

To believe they were the world revolved around them, while not entirely their fault, was undeniably—

Naive!

Olivia observed the scene, silently releasing a sigh.

‘So, it’s going to be like this,’ she thought, contemplating their fate and whether there would even be a ‘Four Major Clans’ in the future.

“Since there is no one willing to make the sacrifices to stop me from interfering in the affairs of the Prismerian Kingdom, I’d like to make one thing clear first,” Orion said, locking eyes with all the important figures in the Prismerian Kingdom.

They remained muted, not daring to interrupt him while waiting for him to finish speaking.

“I made a deal with the Crystalforge Clan to assist them in defeating White Flame, ensuring the Prismerian race breaks free from the curse they brought upon themselves, and emerges from this mountain to the outside world,” Orion continued, his words exploding through the ears of everyone present.

Some of the Major Clans, along with smaller clans and families who had already deciphered the Crystalforge Clan’s intentions, couldn’t help but frown at his revelation.

Meanwhile, those who hadn’t been present during the Prismerian Young Heirs’ banquet, and thus were unaware of the information due to their absence, listened patiently for Orion to carry on.

Orion sighed, shaking his head with a deep melancholy undertone in his words. “But first, I knew I needed help to defeat White Flame. So, my initial decision was to seek assistance from outside the mountain,” Orion explained.

“The Crystalforge Clan had already planned to recruit warriors from various clans and families, regardless of their size, so when I eventually made my way outside the mountain and brought help, they could participate in such an event and eliminate White Flame for good. However, are you aware of what happened next?” Orion’s words carried a hint of anger as he swept his gaze across everyone in the room.

“The royal family was suddenly ambushed, almost assassinated, resulting in the Queen’s strength being sealed by a mysterious artefact. This eliminated the chance of her participation, as she became the same as an ordinary Prismerion. Deciding for a change of plans to prevent the kingdom from falling into chaos, her condition was kept hidden,” Orion continued, speaking with a fierce gaze directed at each of them.

“And because of this, I had to make do with what I had left and go up the mountain with the Crystalforge Clan’s best Elite Warriors. Fortunately, I found a way to leave the mountain because I am not a Prismerion so the curse couldn’t affect me. However, upon my return with the warriors from the Village, aiming to fulfil my agreement with the Crystalforge Clan and assist the Prismerian Kingdom in leaving the mountain, I discovered that over half of the Crystalforge Clan warriors had been killed.”

“This reduced the once-great Five Major Clans to the Four Major Clans, the Queen had been sent to the dungeon, the King was now a condemned man, and all of you, every single one, were complicit in the cause, the reason for all of this..” Orion said, grinding his teeth in anger. He bent down, removing Garnet’s crown and gripping him by his bangs hair before raising him high into the air.

“AFTER THE CRYSTALFORGE CLAN HAS DONE EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO ENSURE THAT THE PRISMERION RACE CAN BREAK FREE OF THEIR CURSE AND LEAVE THE MOUNTAIN, IS THIS HOW YOU REPAY THEM?” Orion roared fiercely at them.

“AND EVEN IF YOU HAD NO IDEA, DID ANY OF YOU TRY TO STAND UP FOR THE CRYSTALFORGE CLAN DURING THE GEMHEART CLAN’S ATTACK, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT THERE IS A FOREIGNER IN THEIR MIDST WHO CAME FROM OUTSIDE THE MOUNTAIN?”

The Four Major Clans shifted their gazes to the other side, realizing that Orion was explicitly addressing them.

Still, like everyone else, their brains spun rapidly as they processed everything he had just uttered.

“No, you didn’t,” Orion said, “You all waited, eager to see if the Gemheart Clan would succeed in defeating the Crystalforge and capturing the foreigner who came from outside the mountain. For your own foolish ambitions, you held your pride high, risking everything for more power and authority,” Orion turned his head and spat, before refocusing his attention on them, “Now I understand why you were all cursed by Naka to remain here forever.”
